He was wounded III the leg at Edward S
Ferry, but before the wound healed he was
off at Rornney, Va, commanding the forces
there. Once he marched 1000 men forty
three miles through deep SHOW, and without
rest and with almost no food, charged them
upon Confederate camp at BlComery Gap,
routing it completely. So impetuous was he
that with single aid he galloped ahead of
his men and demanded and received the Con-
federate commanders sword.
So little is known, however, of this brilliant,
and romantic figure that his name is seldom
mentioned in the war "reminiscences which are
now at food tide in the country. It is because
Gen. Lander died so early in the war. Soon
after the beginning of 1862 his health
failed and he was at length stricken with
a typhoid fever. He applied for leave of alb
sence from military duty, but before the per-
NIT came, while he was yet waiting, word
came that Jaekson's men We're in the neigh
borhood. He rose from his bed, called his
aids about him and with the old time fire in
his eye, purpoSed to make midnight attack.
At that moment his hour struck. He was
seized with Il sudden congestion of the brain
and died in a few minutes.
He was Il man Of fine physique and extra
ordinary personal magnetism. If he had
lived he would have been among the larger
figures of the war.

A Celebrated Case.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, June 13.-The trial
of Cora Lee for the murder off Sarah
Graham began here this forenoon. The
attendance is large and inquiries from
many parts of the country show that in
terest in the case has not subsidized
although it is not as intense as when the
parties charged with the crime were first
arrested. A jury was secured without
difficulty on account of the lapse of time.
A number of people have come in
from the country and were therefore not
familiar with the facts concerning the
crime. Several witnesses were examined
to-day, but nothing was elected that the
public were not made familiar with at the
time of the preliminary examination. 1t
is understood that the defendant will 90
upon the stand herself before the trial
ceases when dramatic and sensational
time may be expected. Judge Bland is
presiding.

EXTENSION OF THE FORT WORTH AMI
RIO GRANDE RAILROAD.

EXTENSION OF THE FORT WORTH AND
RIO GRANDE RAILROAD.
The annual meeting of the directors of
the Fort Worth and Rio Grande Railroad
was held at Fort Worth last Tuesday.
The advisability of the extension OF the
road from Grsnbury was then and there
to be discussed and determined.
We noted that delegations were there
from Coleman, San Angelo and Brown
wood for the purpose Of showing the di-
reCtors the advantages that would accrue
to the road by extending it to their re-
spective places. Bsllinger could per
hsps offer equal, il not greater induce
ments for the road to come TO this place
than any of those places; and it is some
what surprising that some of our enter
prising citizens have not shown some in
terest in the matter. 1t is perhaps not
yet too Iate-railroads are extremely
practical, and if Ballinger can show 10
this road that it will be to its advantage
to come here, Ballinger will get the road.
Fort Worth is practical town and
most keenly alive to its own interest, and
If BallingeT can show Fort Worth that it
will be to Fort Worth's interest to have
this place connected with it by this line
of road, Fort Worth will help Ballinger to
get this road. And THE GAZETTE, always
able as an advocate and ever royal to
Fort Worth, will raise the cry, "On to
BalIinger," and these other places that
have perhaps had ga mid-summers' night
dream OF this road Will wonder "What
change has come over the spirit of their
dreams. - Bsllinger Eagle.

BAKER OF SAN ANGELO.
Captain A. J. Baker, the authorized
delegate who went to represent San An
gelo at the directors meeting of the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande last Tuesday, re-
turned on Thursday, and from him a
Standard reporter cleaned the following {:
The Captain arrived in the Fort two days
before the directors met, became well
acquainted with the prominent citizens
add business men, dined with Peter
Smith, mad q long consultation with
Editor Malone of THE GAZETTE,
who, OF the by declares his intention
to soon visit what he calls that mar
vel of q city-San Angelo; in fact,
the Captain says that everybody he met
is enthusiastic about San Angelo, and are
very eager for rail connection. Captain
Paddock, president of the Fort Worth
and Rio GTande, was privately inter
viewed by our representative for a couple
of hours, but was rather on committal in
his expressions, and said that the Cole
man or Brentwood routes would have to
be decided upon before definite action
would be taken on the route further west;
that at all events it would tske eighteen
months to complete the line to San An
gelo, where it would for long time re-
main the terminus; that an outfit was
now in the field on the proposed
Coleman route, who would report the
topography Of the country, etc, at
about the time the bridge across the
Brazos was completed; then a recess
would be taken and the president would
proceed to New York, present the ad-
vantages of the different routes TO the
capitalists who own the road and then,
under their instructions, proceed to build
the road SIS they might direct; it is IN
dersood, however, that there is enough
money laid aside to build the road to San
Angelo from Granbury, distance I60 or 1s5
miles; our representative also says that
it was amusing to listen to the argu-
ments brought forth by the committees

representing the different routes.
The Brentwood men would argue that
by going their way they would cross such
and such country, which would make it
the shortest and cheapest route 10 San
Angelo. The Coleman committee did
likewise, having San Angelo as the OBJ
jective point. In less time than thirty
days it will be determined whether the
Coleman or Brentwood route will be
adopted, and then lookout for an amend
ment to the charter calling for San
Angelo. Captain Baker is almost willing
to stake his reputation that the whistle OF
Fort Worth and Rio Grande locomotive
will be heard in San Angelo before July

RALEIGH, N. Y, June 13.-Richard
Gleroch, liquor dealer of this city, was
arrested Saturday last upon the charge
of selling beer in alleged violation of the
local option law which prohibits the sale of
of "spirituous liquors." He sued out q
writ of habess corpus, upon which be had
hearing this afternoon before full
bench of the Supreme court. The counsel
for Gieroch argued that beer and
wine are not spirituous liquors,
that consequently GieroCh should be dis
charged, as the law applies TO all places
where the sale of liquor has been pro-
hibited by local option. The decision of
the court upon the question raised is
looked forward to with much interest.

Lee. One of their foremen, Mr.. O'Conor,
has located two camps, one three miles
south and another seven miles south of
this city, The two camps contain fifty
five teams, all at work grading this way.
1t is learned by the officials Of the COM
pany that the road will be completed to
this place as soon as men, teams and
money can build it And it seems to be
the idea of the people of this city that as
soon, and probably before the road is
completed to Weatherford, that work will
be commenced to extend it westward
Mr.. j. n. Rogers of Jacksboro, member of
the railroad committee of that place, was
in this city yesterday. Though he was very
reserved in his remarks to THE GAZETTE
correspondent in regard to his mission
he stated that he was here looking after
the interest of Jacksboro in regard to Sc
curing 8 railroad. He refused to say
what road, but your reporter feels safe in
saying that it is the Santa Fe from this
place they want, Judging from his
maneuYers and the council he was hold
ing, it being with the old railroad COM
mittee which secured that road to this
city. Since work began on the road at
this end of the line this morning our peo-
pie look still brighter, and 1t is safe to
say that real estate took another rise,
though not without purchasers.
